      G                    D
Before you were taken, so quickly away,
( 2 VOICES- HARMONIZE)
C                      D     C      G
There was something, I never got to say.

     G           C            D             G
When skies were dark, and the clouds seemed grey,

           G           C     D     G
You were always the sunshine in my day.

           G           C     D     G
You were always the sunshine in my day.

  D              G                 C      G       D
But sometimes.  I just wish  your (smile  I could see).

        C                     G                   D
And to feel your lovin’ arms (hold me through the night)

        C                             G            D        (Walk down - D  C  B  A)
And  I feel at peace, when you say,  (Ev’ry things alright)
[Chorus] (2 VOICES- HARMONIZE)
D               G                C                G  D

You could pick me up when my spirits were down.

             C                       G               D
With a flash of your smile, the pain went away.

            C                   G                D
And I feel your love in my heart every day.

You could pick me up when my spirits were down.

       C                        G         D
With a flash of your smile, the pain went away.

      C                    G           D
And I feel your love in my heart every day.

    G            D             C           D
You taught me to speak up,  to make my own rules.

        G           D             C           D
And the road that I travel is the road that I choose.

        G           D           C        D
And no matter what happens, whatever may be,

G          D             C       D      G      D    C   D
This is my life no one lives     it but me!

And I feel your love in my heart every day.
